Last night, we went out for dinner. The kids' menus/placemats had the typical coloring page on one side, and the other side was blank. After Julia had had enough of coloring and scribbling on the pictures, I flipped the paper over to the blank side.

I wrote Julia and asked her whose name it was. She blurted out, "Julia!" Next, I wrote Evelyn. Before I could even say a word, Julia shouted, "Evelyn!" Then she identified Mommy and Daddy after I wrote them. Rosie stumped her the first time I wrote it, but she recognized it after that.

I also asked Julia to point to different names, and she found all of them. This name-game is something we have played with Julia for quite awhile, and it seems that now she can actually read the names. Amazing!
